just ordered these 2 silicone sprays. Any issues with either around the coach? I read an earlier post of silicone staining walnut inside. Want to lube Windows, hinges, locks, etc.

I use a dry product, CLP = Clean, Lube and Protect. There are several manufacturers that can be found in a gun store., on line or B&M.
Randy, I use the 3M dry type (it sprays on as a liquid but dries) for window tracks, use plenty, use a paper towel to prevent overspray. I use the 3M wet type for awning roller ends, awning arms, tow bar parts, bay door locks etc. I use a dry lubricant with PTFE spray on our electric sliding steps tracks.
Be very careful spraying anything inside. It is hard to control and very hard to fix overspray problems.
On hinges, try some Marvel Mystery Oil, a drop on a Qtip, and apply to hinge while moving it then wipe it off.

You might be able to find a pint can. Or any other kind of light oil.
Roger, I recall a prior discussion....maybe Carol.....I use a toothbrush in the window tracks to get clean and lube. Works really well,.......... oh, and then I wash the brush with water and return to Jackie's side of the sink.
That combination finally made my windows easy to open.
AND, more importantly, put you in TIME OUT!
You never know where Jackie has used your toothbrush!
I used compressed air and the vacuum to clean the tracks out as well as possible and then coat them liberally with the dry silicone lube. Mostly along the bottom track where the window slides when you open it and then where it slides when you close it. Once or twice a year seems to keep them sliding pretty well.
And Chuck, B&M is a well known brand of linen lifters and lower end lube but I have never heard of then being used to coat window tracks. :o
Michael,
I know this may run this thread amuck but this sounds a lot better than one of the grandkids using the toothbrush on one of the dogs teeth and then return the brush to the rack.
